3DTotal: How is Vancouver, I hear its a really good place to work and live?
Mihai: Well, I have only been here for 5 months, so my impressions may be too limited. Vancouver is a nice place. Is a multicultural city with lots of interesting people. Also, there are lots of games company and film studios here so artists will find Vancouver is a Canadian Hollywood! I have mountains here, the ocean,and everything is green all year round. I’m
living downtown, near my work, so every morning I walk for 15 minutes and admire the view of Stanley Park and North Vancouver. After work, I really like to sit down on the beach (English bay) and admire the sunset, or I like to bike in Stanley Park. I can tell you that here you’ll find lots of restaurants from all around in the world. It’s really cool when you can experiment with all types of food. The only thing that I miss here is my girlfriend, who will join me in about 2 months.

3DTotal: Some of your works have involved creating famous faces, how did these projects begin?
   
Mihai: I’ve started some famous human faces, just to prove to myself that I can do it, and I’ve used that project to learn more and more. I wanted to model Bruce Willis’ face because he has an intriguing face and is very well known by everybody! That way, any mistake done will be very visible (Now when I look at that old model, I can easily see what’s wrong with him). After that, I wanted to make a beautiful female face for a 3d contest and the first image in my mind was Monica Belluci, but because the contest had a limited time the 3d model doesn’t look exactly like Monica but I’ve tried to capture something from her beauty
